About this work

In the painting, you see a circular image of a man and woman surrounded by ornate decorations. The man is sitting on the left, and the woman is standing on the right, holding a cup. They are both naked from the waist up. The circular image is surrounded by a white frame with leaves and flowers. There are also several statues of naked people around the frame. The background of the painting is dark green. This painting reminds me of the work of another artist, Ignaz Unterberger.
